Thomas Greene

Male, #36423, (say 1605 - before 1691)

Birth*say 1605 Thomas was born say 1605. 
Marriage*say 1630 He married Jeane (?) at Virginia say 1630. 
Death*before 1691 He died at Lower Norfolk Co., Virginia, before 1691. 
Biography* The Greene pedigree is under research and construction, and should be considered highly speculative at this point.

That Thomas Green was the husband of Jeane Green has not been proven. Further research on the Green / Greene family in early Lower Norfolk County, VA, is needed.

Transport of four persons: Richard Owens, his wife, Milkey Hussey, Nicho. Caffeway, Henry Hills, Thomas Rope [note that six people are apparently listed]. By assignment from Richard Owens. 1

THOMAS GREENE, 520 acres in Lower Norfolk County, 6 November 1665, p. 530 (649) [of Patent Book 5]. South side of the Western Branch of the Elizabeth River, beginning on a poynt at the mouth of Loyds Creek, running along the maine River East by North & etc. to a poynt on the West side of GREENE'S CREEK & etc. 400 acres granted to the said Green on 18 March 1662 and 120 acres for the transport of three persons: William Grindon, Robert Watson, and Edward James. 3

Loyd's Creek, mentioned above, apparently does not appear on modern maps, and this writer has not determined its modern name.

Peter Smith was another early settler on this creek, and a James Smith seems to be a relative of Henry Culpepper, Jr., in this area a bit later. Perhaps these Smiths were the ancestors of the Smiths who were associated with the Culpeppers decades later in Anson County, NC, and later still, in Washington and Laurens Counties, GA:

PETER SMITH, 200 acres in Lower Norfolk County, 9 December 1665, page 466 (567) [of Patent Book 5]. In a branch of the Western Branch of the Elizabeth River, beginning on the East side of the head of Loyd's Creek at a marked hickory standing by Edmond Bowman's marked trees & etc., to a poynt at the mouth of the Reedy Branch & etc. For the transport of four persons, not named. 4
